CURTAIN-POLE RJNG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,972, dated April 1,1884.

Application filed February 13, 1884. (No model.)

T 0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J ULIUs BERBECKER, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCurtain-Pole Rings, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to certain improvements in the curtain-pole ringfor which Letters Patent of the United States have been grantedheretofore to William Lang, of Brooklyn, New York, No. 286,712, anddated October 18, 1883, whereby the construction of said ring isrendered cheaper, simpler, and more durable; and the invention consistsof a curtain-pole ring that is connected at the end by a clamping-sleevehaving an eye made integral therewith and bent up at right angles to thebody of the sleeve.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view; Fig. 2,avertical transverse section on line as m, Fig. 1, of my improvedcurtain-pole ring, and Fig. 3 is a detail top view of the blank fromwhich the clamping-sleeve is made.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the body of a curtain-pole ring, which ismade of a tube of brass or other suitable sheet metal, and jointed atthe, abutting ends by a clamping-sleeve, B, that is tightly closed overthe ends of the ring A. The clamping-sleeve B is provided with an eye,0, which is made integral with the sleeve B, and which is bent up atright angles thereto when the sleeve is applied to the ring. For thispurpose the sleeve-blank B, Fig. 3, is provided with an eye, 0, which iscut by suitable dies from brass or other suitable material, the blaukbeing bentinto sleeve shape, so as to close tightly around the ends ofthe ring. The eye 0 is first bent outwardly at right angles to the bodyof the sleeve, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2 As the. eye is integralwith the sleeve, it cannot become detached or play loose, which has beenthe case heretofore, as the eye was attached by a pronged shank to arecess of the sleeve.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A curtain-pole ring consisting of a ringshapedtube and of a clamping-sleeve applied to the abutting ends of the tube,said clamping-sleeve being provided with an eye extending at rightangles therefrom, and being made integral therewith, substantially asset forth.

2. A clampingsleeve for curtain-pole rings gral therewith, and bentoutwardly at right angles to the sleeve, substantially as described. Intestimony that I claim the foregoing as my. invention I have signed myname in pres ence of two subscribing witnesses.
